SUMMARY

The Black Knight Satellite is an alleged object purportedly orbiting Earth in a near-polar orbit, believed by some to be approximately 13,000 years old and of extraterrestrial origin. However, mainstream science and space agencies, including NASA, do not confirm its existence, categorizing it as a product of conspiracy theories and urban legends. Claims of radio signals from the satellite are largely dismissed as terrestrial interference or natural phenomena. Overall, the concept of the Black Knight Satellite remains unsubstantiated and speculative.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of orbital mechanics and satellite orbits

Does anyone know if the black knight satellite is real. If so it is continuously streaming information and can that information be accessed by anyone. It is said to be in a polar orbit, could it be seen in Alaska at any given time and if so how would it be distinguished from any other satellite in polar orbit (I am guessing polar orbit satellites would be the only satellites seen in Alaska)?

Hmm... from wiki:
Black Knight also known as the Black Knight satellite is an alleged object orbiting Earth in near-polar orbit that ufologists and fringe authors believe is approximately 13,000 years old and of extraterrestrial origin. However it is most probable that Black Knight is the result of a conflation of a number of unrelated stories

If this is what you are referring to, it is exceedingly unlikely that it exists.
 
No, it's not real.

The Black Knight Satellite is a mysterious object that has been the subject of various conspiracy theories and urban legends. It is often described as a black, possibly artificial satellite that has been in Earth's orbit for a very long time, potentially thousands of years. The existence of the Black Knight Satellite is not confirmed by mainstream science or space agencies like NASA.

The legend of the Black Knight Satellite gained popularity in the mid-20th century when some people claimed to have detected radio signals coming from an unknown object in space. However, these claims are largely unsubstantiated, and many experts believe that the signals were likely the result of terrestrial interference or other natural phenomena.

The Black Knight Satellite is often associated with claims of ancient extraterrestrial civilizations or advanced alien technology. It has been a recurring theme in various conspiracy theories and paranormal discussions. Skeptics argue that there is no credible evidence to support the existence of such a satellite.

In summary, the Black Knight Satellite is a mysterious and controversial concept that lacks solid scientific evidence, and its existence remains a topic of debate and speculation among believers in conspiracy theories and extraterrestrial phenomena.

And this forum is for science fiction and fantasy stories, not for debunking crazy theories.

Locked.
